Be nice to see if Lazar and Jagr rotate in and out of games when Jagr can't go (Jagr playing 75 percent of the games of course).

Lol, Wills twitter has a short little video of Jagr talking to Johnny before giving him a couple pats on the butt.

What a Legend.

Even if he's not 100% and you rest him during the game, how could you not start him? The opportunity to announce his name as one of the roster players for this year is not something to be passed up!

"You see, this is posture I use to protect puck. I just bend down forward, like this. To do this also, you must also have massive butt like me. Never skip leg day, yes? Then you have massive ass also."

It's like having the Yoda of hockey on this team now:

Bennett: "I can't... McDavid's too fast."

Jagr: "Speed matters not... judge me by speed do you? And where you should not. For my ally is my butt... and a powerful ally it is. Leg day creates it... makes it grow."

Seeing Jagr come in and immediately step up as a mentor is really exciting.
Even if he doesn't end up contributing, points-wise, as much as we hope, the leadership and coaching is worth his cost.

Is there a way to see a full-practice video somewhere?

File this one with the other overreactions after an opening night loss

It's pretty clear they are in between drills/just warming up the tendy.

Should Gluegun be banishing players to the Sarlac pit while he's at it?

I certainly get that from a minor hockey coaching standpoint, for sure. You only get the rink for an hour twice a week so never have kids standing around.

But they have an agenda and work it out. A zamboni driver doesn't kick them off.

I'm sure the Flames management are quickly realizing that Jagr will offer just as much off the ice - in the room and during practices etc. - as he does during actual games.

True win win!

Another thing I'm wondering if Jagr will do is give the coach feedback that the coach would consider. As an example, maybe feedback that Brodie needs to shoot more on the PP or he may want to consider swapping him with a shooter.

I'm guessing his opinion has a bit of weight.

Fanattic Dome has limited quantities left. Not a ton to pick from.
